I haven't used tragesym yet, but the symbol I wanted to create was a very
non-standard transmissive opto sensor. I don't think tragesym caters for
such symbols.

Anyway, I submitted the problem as a bug report on sourceforge - I hope
someone reads it. There seems to be little activity there.

I solved the problem by drawing the symbol, rotating 90 degrees, adding
the pins, and rotating back. It's only _drawing_ the symbol that causes
the problems - it may be a GUI issue.

Cheers,
John
